Scum QT/private topics

[zoraster]

Alternative take: it wasn't until somewhat recently that releasing the scum QT at the end of the game because prevalent. It's not some sort of right of all players to see it just to satisfy some element of curiosity.

I prefer to allow my players to feel free to talk about the game as they see fit and not worry about what's said coming out after the game.

Allowing the players in the QT the chance to veto releasing it allows a freedom that wouldn't exist otherwise.

i've also had times that people have discussed what they perceive to be their own tells and what not. Regardless of the reason, the idea behind the QTs is that they are private. It's interesting to go back and review the QT from a game you played in, but not necessary.

Why shouldn't they? The game posts are made in public and all, including those who aren't involved in the game, can see them. The Private Topics are, well, private.

how do you force a hydra to use a PT?

Communication between heads is only allowed in the PT. Outside communication is considered a violation of game rules.

Oh yeah. I think that's fine.

After being in a few myself, I think hydra-ing should be against the rules. I agree with you there.

I don't think they need to communicate in front of the mod, though. That's unnecessary. What are they going to say outside of the game that they can't say in it that the mod needs to see? If they're treated as one person, it's sort of as effective as giving everyone their own PT and saying "write your notes in it I have to see them."

Let's not delve into the hydra discussion here.
